The September of 2014, as anticipated, saw the release of not one, but two Apple smartphones. The expected iPhone 6 was accompanied by a bigger version called the iPhone 6 Plus. Both high-end, and both struggling to top the market like Apple was used to in Job’s time, let’s see what these phones have got for us.

Design and Size

Apple had to do something about maintaining their strategy of compactness in smartphones all the while wanting the “big smartphone” fans to be attracted to Apple too, instead of going to their competitor, Samsung’s readily available large smartphones. For this, Apple introduced the iPhone 6, which has a 4.7” screen and a big brother smartphone for the big screen lovers, the 5.5” inch screen possessing iPhone 6 Plus. Win-win.

As the phones have elongated, they have also maintained slimness, being Apple’s slimmest ever phones, the iPhone 6 is 6.9mm thick whereas the 6 Plus is 7.1mm thick. As far as the screen is concerned, we have no idea why Apple only made the iPhone 6 Plus an HD display phone whereas the iPhone 6 has a 326PPi display, which is quite unimpressive.

So what’s new in the design? There isn’t much innovation to see here but rather more improved features. Since the iPhone 6 Plus is a huge device and quite hard to manage with one hand, Apple provided the Reachability feature that allows the top of the screen to come to middle screen for easy use. The problem? It looks annoying and I doubt many would use it. The better, improved keyboards are a plus, though. And of course, the new iPad-style landscape mode for homescreen is also wonderful, unfortunately it’s only for the 6 Plus.

Camera

Camera is one aspect where Apple excels – the quality is sharp and detailed, and the secondary cameras are impressive. Apple did not overlook the camera this time around either, and brought in new features for the camera like optical image stabilization and the Focus Pixel feature that enhances auto-focus ability, and also improved the overall camera quality. For the video recording, improved aperture, burst mode option, and the new 240fps slo-mo options are available on both the phones.

Performance

Everyone expected better functionality and Apple served. The phones are backed up by a 1.39GHz dual-core 64-bit A8 chip accompanied by 1GB of ram. Even with quad and octa-core phones available out there, Apple manages to keep a full functioning high-end phone at dual-core.

Battery

Coming as a huge relief is better battery performance on both the phones. The phones’ non-removable case hides an 1810 mAh battery – not the biggest as there are more than 2100 mAh ones but it runs decently enough. The battery life still does not compare to iPhone 6’s competitor, Samsung Galaxy S5 as the S5 can last a day even after full use and the iPhone 6 can last about 13-15 hours on light usage. No matter, at least the battery life on the phones is a step from the previous models although there could have been a better improvement.

Conclusion

For the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, all we can say is it definitely is a step up from the 5S, the new tweaks and improvements to enjoy are good but considering that many of the improvements come from iOS 8 rather than the iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus, many will find themselves upgrading their previous models rather than buying the new phones. If the phones were a little less pricey, then the new features would have been more than great, but for such prices, consumers demand more.

For the people who do not think of money as a drawback, the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus is a great release from Apple. Longer battery life, faster performance, sleekness and bigger screens, and new improvements are all a plus.

Five years ago, not many people used smartphones. Today, even a 12 year old does. Technology has a way of reigning eras with its charm. We’re already getting so many technology news about wearable devices so we suspect the next thing to go mainstream will be wearable devices, too. With smart watches slowly becoming a common trend, companies are brainstorming to create new, creative wearable devices.

Samsung, never missing from technology news, especially now that it is a leading smartphone brand, also works to create wearable smart devices. They recently just launched their Gear S smartwatch, and surprisingly launched a new wearable device the very next day of the Gear S launch – the Samsung Gear Circle.

Function

The Samsung Gear Circle takes its name after the circle shape it is in when its ear-buds are not in use. Forming a perfect circle, the Gear Circle circles around its owner’s neck like a, well, necklace, locked securely by the magnets provided. It is obviously a smart device so it doesn’t just work as wireless earphones but assist the user to answer calls, and make voice commands, too. Here’s the fun part though; the Samsung Gear Circle, when in circle form (i.e. clasped around the user’s neck), vibrates to alert the wearer of incoming calls or notifications. The Gear Circle connects to your smartphone via Bluetooth connectivity. It also features Wi-Fi connectivity. Further technology news and reviews when in releases will only tell us about how well this Circle performs.

The Samsung Gear Circle’s battery power is 180 mAh, which can provide up to 11 hours of playback and talk time and up to 300 hours on standby.

Physical Features

The Gear Circle is a sleek device. The two ends of the Circle that act as ear-buds are like your average stuff-in earphones but each bud holds a small magnet on top – so that when not in use, the ear-buds can join heads to lock the Circle. The wire that leads up to the front where a small board proudly claims the Gear Circle logo, micro-USB port, and a microphone piece to assist your voice commands or call answering needs, is your average earphone wire so you can also put it in your pocket if wearing smart devices isn’t your thing.

Creatively, the ear-buds have a touch feature to help with volume and music track variations. Since there are no volume buttons on the device, that helps make it look even sleeker.

The Samsung Gear Circle will come into the market in three colors: black, white, and blue.

Samsung’s latest wearable device will roll out in October in the global market and till then, we cannot assume how well this device will rank. For now, it seems like an innovative device and Samsung’s ideas and innovations are impressive. The price range of this Circle is not released as yet but we think it will be close to the price range of high-end earphones ($80-$100), if not higher than them.

Last year we saw the release of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 which improved on its predecessor, the Note 2, in various ways and turned a bunch of heads. Following the success of the Note 3 it is only normal that Samsung would be launching the 4th device in the series which would most probably be titled the Note 4.

One more thing to keep in mind about Samsung and the Note 4 is that the company has been at a fairly steady decline recently and it will only go further unless they manage to bring out something revolutionary in their next flagship device and judging by what we’ve heard of the Note 4 so far, it definitely seems like a device that will turn the tides back into Samsung’s favor.

Before going into the specs and technical details of the device let’s get some main things like the release dates and price out of the way. From what has been revealed until now and calculating by previous Samsung release cycles, the most accurate prediction of the Note 4’s release date would probably be set in September and as for pricing, since the phone is packed with so much next generation hardware it is only normal that the expected price would reach at least somewhere around the 850$ mark at initial release.

Moving on to the screen size of the device let’s look at how the previous Note devices have turned out. The Note 1 had a 5.3 inch display; the Note 2 had a 5.5 inch display, the Note 3 had a 5.7 inch display so it’s pretty clear from the trend that each successive Note device has a screen size that is 0.2 inches larger than its predecessor so it really isn’t a far-fetched thought to expect that the Note 4 would be rocking a 5.9 inch display.

As for the inner hardware specifications, the phone has been confirmed to be running a QHD screen with a resolution of 2560×1440 and Gorilla Glass 3. As for screen technology, there have been rumors that the Note 4 might have a PLS display instead of their traditional AMOLED since it will reduce costs but this is still too soon to talk about.

Going further into the technical specifications, expect a 16 MP rear camera that is capable of recording videos at 2160p at 30 FPS and a 2 MP front facing camera that can record 1080p videos at 30 FPS.

The Note 4’ll most likely ship with a version of Android 4.4 Kitkat since Android L is still far from official release. Aside from this, expect your regular Quad-core/Octa-core processors and at the very least 3 GB of RAM included if not 4 GB. The GPU will most likely be an Adreno 420 or a Mali T-760 so you judging by these specifications you’ll be able to run any of the latest and hardware demanding Android apps for a long time to come.

It’s been a couple of very competitive years for market giants like Apple, HTC, Sony, Nokia and Samsung. Needless to say that Samsung has been one of the top dogs with its innovative ideas and smart market campaigns to attain and retain its customers. Previously focusing on a ‘lifestyle campaign’, this time Samsung has shifted its focus towards ‘product campaign’. In regards to its latest launch of the Samsung Galaxy S5, Ines van Gennip, one of Samsung’s marketing directors said that this time Samsung is taking on a strategy of” people inspired innovation.” And Samsung once again has come on top with the upgrades to its latest, most anticipated android smart phone of the year.

The Samsung Galaxy S5 offers better quality screen with Super AMOLED capacitive touch screen, 16M colors and a multi-touch interface. This 1920 x 1080 pixel display places the new S5 somewhere between the S4 and Note 3, in regards to overall size and weight. In terms of display, the GS5 is much brighter than the GS4, not just indoors, but in direct sunlight too. Significant improvement has been seen in the viewing and the colors are more lifelike even from severe angles. There has been immense improvement on the camera with its 5312 x 2988 pixels and phase detection autofocus. This 16MP camera also has LED flash. The new bigger design has the added benefit of a more durable battery life with what Samsung calls ‘Ultra Power Saving Mode’, which comes in handy to keep users afloat when the battery is critically low. It automatically changes phone settings to manage basic functions and restricts app use for reserving power for emergency functions.

There is plenty of power and storage, which is a nice improvement over its previous models. It supports up to 128 GB in addition to its existing internal memory of 16/32 GBs. Jam packed with Android v4.4.2, the phone supports up to 4G Networks. Speaking of speed, most versions of GS5 come with a new feature called Download Booster, which combines the power of WiFi, LTE and Grayskull to help to increase the download speed of larger files compared to the speed you get on any one network. This service however doesn’t support anything less than 30 MB and doesn’t apply to certain protocols like UDP and FTP.

This model is both water and dust resistant which adds to its appeal and the overall upgrades on the software have managed to satisfy the customers on a large scale. There are however areas which could have used more work, like the fingerprint scanner in the home button and the heart rate monitor which some people have even gone so far as to declare futile. The Touchwiz UI looks way better but can still be frustrating for some users. Despite much speculation about a metal design, Samsung has yet again stuck with its conventional design completely. Although waterproof, its dimpled back can hardly be termed an improvement over the past designs. And being a flagship phone, much more was expected from Samsung, especially when its competitors are eye candy like the HTC One M8. However there are pros to not having a particularly slippery phone considering the GS5 is 5 mm taller, 3mm wider and 0.2mm thicker than its predecessor the GS4, and a better grip never hurt anyone.

The GS5 is currently selling at a price of around 650 $, depending on carrier charges and the FOREX.
All in all if you’re looking for a smart phone that delivers, the GS5 is one of your best options. Looking at it from a perspective of market share and customer base, Samsung could’ve just sat still and still sold all that much product, considering that, it is obvious that Samsung is making an effort this time to keep its customers happy.

Many of us use our smartphones for games. Some prefer the addictive challenge of a puzzler such as Cut the Rope, whereas others opt for the online casino or an arcade type adventure game. This means that one of our prime concerns when buying a smartphone should be: Which phone is best for gaming in 2013?

Android have a host of stylish phones which are great for gaming, as the Google Play store becomes ever more bountiful, but then Windows phones also have a fast developing app market. With all that in mind, it’s still nevertheless the iTunes store and the iPhone that lead the way for many critics and the iPhone5s looks set to reinforce Apple’s position.

When considering gaming abilities we should look at things like storage – 32or 64GB is preferable as games and heavy Operating Systems really fill a phone up – screen size, processing power and RAM. The latest iPhone ticks all of these boxes and the A7/M7 processing combination really makes the phone a mark of things to come.

That’s not to say Android has been left behind and many will still prefer the slightly larger screen of the Samsung Galaxy S4 or the sound capabilities of the HTC One. This new breed of Android phones have huge quad core processors to keep those graphics heavy arcade action games ticking along, and the user interfaces are great for swiping and touching the screen.

Phones like the Sony Xperia Z have really taken the market by storm, offering a 5inch display, Snapdragon processor and 2GB RAM. The Google Nexus 4 represents how much Google’s products are having an impact on the market. It’s fantastic value and has good size 4.7inch screen for decent visibility.

Remember, if you’re a fan of perusing online betting markets or playing online casino games, a larger screen can be just what you need. Anything above 4.5inches is about right.

What makes a laptop so popular? The most important feature is that you can take it anywhere without having to tether it to an outlet. On top of that, is has all the power of a desktop in a tiny little package. If you want to learn the right way to buy a laptop, read on.

Get the right sized screen when you buy a laptop. Look at the screen of your computer right now, and decide whether that is going to be a good screen size for your new laptop. In fact, take a look at bigger screens as well. Just keep in mind that the larger the screen is, the more the laptop will weigh.

Consider walking into a store and physically trying a laptop, even if you plan to buy it online. Buying a laptop online is a great idea for a number of reasons, but it can be hard to get a clear idea of what the machine looks like. If you can handle it in a store, you will be more comfortable buying it, whether you buy it right there or online.

When you need to buy a laptop, do so with your credit card if at all possible. Since there are many laws in place to protect consumers when they purchase big ticket items with a card, your investment will be safer. Should something be wrong with your new machine and the vendor isn’t cooperative, contact the card issuer immediately.

Avoid using your laptop computer on a soft surface, such as a pillow or bed. Setting your laptop on a soft surface blocks air flow that is supposed to flow through the ventilation holes on the bottom. This can cause your laptop to overheat. When using your laptop in bed, rest it on a book or other hard surface to allow for ventilation.

Consider a touchscreen laptop. More and more software for PCs is being created with touchscreen technology in mind, meaning this option will become increasingly essential as time goes on. By purchasing the technology now, you can take advantage of the touchscreen features and not feel a necessity to re-buy another computer for several years.

Consider online reviews when you want to buy a laptop online. While reviews should be taken with a grain of salt, it can help you see if the model you want is worth buying. Many times, these reviews will contain important information on how great or poor a model is and what their experience was. This can save you a lot of frustration and money if you know what to buy or avoid.

When buying a laptop computer, it is a good idea to consider how you will be using it before you compare all the different models. If you are doing just basic word processing and checking your email, you won’t need as powerful a laptop as someone who intends to play video games.

Consider the operating system. Most laptops will come with one of two operating systems. Those systems are Mac or Windows. There are advantages and disadvantages to each operating system. Consider what you will be using the laptop for, and the features you will require. This will help you make the best decision.

To keep your laptop safe on the road, pack it in its own suitcase; if you do not have a separate laptop bag, then get a padded case for the laptop that you can place in another bag. Make sure that there is nothing else in that larger bag heavy enough to crack the screen through the case.

If you were looking for tips and tricks on buying a new laptop, this article has provided you with all you need to know. Your job is to use that data to buy a new laptop which perfectly meets your requirements. As soon as you do, you’ll be computing anywhere and everywhere!

At one time, the camcorder was considered as a bit of a status symbol. It was a high end piece of technology that enabled people to make their own home movies, albeit at considerable cost. In an age where cameras still relied on 30 picture films, the camcorder was seen as something that could capture fond memories on an entirely different level.

But now times have changed. These days, even fairly basic mobile phones are capable of capturing home videos, not to mention it being a feature on almost every digital camera available. High end mobile phones and cameras are even capable of recording video in high definition, so it’s easy to see why the reputation of the camcorder has taken a bit of a hit in recent years. After all, in the past they tended to be bulky, with short battery life, and in recent years they have been easily surpassed in far more portable technology.

The truth is, however, the video camera has evolved too. If you are looking for the best gadget used for recording videos, then you really need to think about looking at a camcorder to do the job. For a start, new camcorders boast a far superior battery life to those seen in high end mobile phones (which have been virtually reduced to land lines for the amount of times they need to be plugged in to charge!). Then there are other features which are seldom found in smartphones, including optical zoom (not to be confused with the vastly inferior digital zoom), far larger storage options, as well as a multitude of other custom functions including manual focus and exposure adjustment.

These features can arguably be found in digital cameras too, but digital cameras don’t have the form factor that a camcorder does for taking video, making them awkward to use effectively – especially if you’re recording for a long period of time. There are also pocket video cameras available which eliminate the need for a bulky item to carry. Additionally, more camcorders are becoming available with the option to instantly share clips via social media networks such as Facebook and YouTube, and don’t forget that a camcorder also incorporates support for microphones too, which you won’t get with a camera (or a smartphone without some serious tinkering).

So whilst your camera or smartphone can offer great option for taking quick videos, with the prices much lower than they previously were, a camcorder is still arguably the best option if you have a larger videoing project in mind.

Laptops are getting slimmer by the day, but there has not been much compromise on the price factor, yet. Low-budget laptops, on the other hand have had certain tradeoffs between specs and design. With the influx of new Aspire V5 series, Acer is planning to assemble a beautiful design that often accompanies an Ultra book with a low enough price for their new V5-431.

Thin as it is, V5 still packs a strong power and graphics. Some models even feature useful optical drive and LAN / VGA combo port, while they all promise cool-to-the-touch comfort. Elegant design sports a smooth surface.

Acer V5-431 is a 14-inch laptop with 1366 x 768 pixels and above webcam and comes with a silver initial resistant exterior and borrowed a lot of looks at the top of the notebook market. Well it’s definitely not a bad thing considering the price. V5 is slim wrapped strong power and graphics. Some models even feature useful optical drive and LAN / VGA combo port, while they all promise cool-to-the-touch comfort. Elegant design sports a smooth surface.

Acer V5-431 has completed a dual-tone silver and black and looks quite sleek and stylish. No metal was used in construction but still superior finish and looks like a horde of plasticky laptops on the market.

The Nokia Lumia 900 that provides similar features t the Nokia Lumia 800 respectively, offers a wealth of features within its Windows Phone OS, whilst providing great hardware. Its powerful camera and impressive user memory with cloud storage build a well supported environment with easily to use controls.. In terms of design look for the Nokia Lumia 900 probably the most appealing from the two devices. The whole Lumia range of handsets boast excellent design and being the premium model within the range the Lumia 900 is probably the most attractive of most of them. The phone is not actually similar to every other phone in the marketplace which is in contrast to the Titan 2 which looks very just like a number of other phones that HTC have released over the last two years. The Nokia sports a really angular design and the main body with the phone is manufactured out of a single little bit of Polycarbonate which feels very robust and appears superb. The device measures 127.8 x 68.5 x 11.5mm whilst the weight of the model tips the scales in a rather heavy 160 grammes. The Titan 2 can be an even larger handset with thanks to the massive 4.7 inch screen that it incorporates. The model measures 132 x 69 x 13mm but precisely what is surprising relating to this model is which it weighs 13 grammes under the Lumia at 147 grammes. The HTC is also a very well built cellular phone and even though it lacks the uni body form of its rival it’s built from some lovely looking metals which help it to appear expensive and in addition feel adequately made. Both of those handsets give you a striking design and great build quality but the Lumia 900 arrives on top due to its more unusual appearance and more compact dimensions.. The Nokia Lumia 900 incorporates a high quality camera so that users to capture superb photographs with all the device. The phones comes with a dedicated camera button which allows the phone to be used in a similar manner as a dedicated digital still camera. This button actually features a two step design in order that it can be pressed halfway to lock the focus and then fully compressed to capture the image. In addition to utilizing the photograph this button may also launch the digital camera features which saves the consumer needing to access the menus on the main display. The camera itself can record images at the resolution of 3264 x 2448 which equates to 8 million pixels, the same standard as is also offered by models for example the iPhone 4S. Users is able to reduce the resolution if required which can be great if you want to attach images with an e mail or upload them to a social network site. The 900 features a car focus feature which is great if the person wants to snap a photo quickly without making many adjustments. For close shots the macro mode enables quality to be captured at distances around 10cm.. Because the Nokia Lumia 900 runs the Windows Phone OS in the latest ‘Mango’, or v7.5 version, the default browser is really a smartphone optimised version of Microsoft’s recognized internet explorer, which can be also the most recent version (IE9). This provides probably probably the most desktop-like browsing experience entirely on a cell phone app, and anyone who is familiar with the computer version of IE will instantly find that it is easy to use, which is even aesthetically very much like the software used on millions of desktop and notebooks all over the world. The functions may also be essentially the same; multi-tab browsing, back/forward functions, HTML and flash compatibility means that web sites appear virtually the identical as on a computer even if they have embedded videos or flash graphics..

If you would like something different for the iOS or Android phones that happen to be currently proving so popular, the Nokia Lumia 900 would be my top recommendation. The phone sports some impressive hardware, as well as the software is equally impressive, albeit less well known than iOS and Android.. We’ve seen the Nokia and Microsoft tandem making use of their Windows Phone handsets. We have also witnessed the Samsung and Microsoft tandem with their Windows Phones. In this article, we are going to talk about the most recent Windows Phone Mango 7.5 from both the Finnish giant Nokia and Korean giant Samsung. In this article, we will compare the new Nokia Lumia 900 and also the upcoming Samsung Focus 2. Read on!. The Windows Mobile main system is growing in popularity and this year we percieve several new models unveiled that run about this system. Two of probably the most impressive Windows devices are the newest Nokia Lumia 900 along with the HTC Titan 2 which both feature some powerful hardware and great features. We take apple iphone 4 design and screen quality present on both of those new models.. Being the 2 flagship devices of their respective ranges both models feature the latest in screen technology even though the HTC One X impresses us slightly more with this department. The models uses a really large 4.7 inch display which runs around the very latest Super IPS LCD2 technology which produces vivid colours and excellent viewing angles. In terms of resolution the One X can present 1280 x 720 pixels which leads to a fantastic pixel density of 312PPI. The multi touchscreen technology is made out of Gorilla Glass that’s much stronger than traditional glass panels which will help it to hold in better condition longer. The Nokia Lumia 900 runs on the smaller screen which utilises Super AMOLED technology. This kind of display is considered by many people as being the best sort of screen in the marketplace but the Nokia loses ground for the HTC by offering a lower resolution. The handset is capable of showing 800 x 480 which leads to a much lower pixel density of 217 pixels per inch. There is no doubt this display is successful but when compared to the One X the HTC device definitely holds the top hand for screen performance..

The Nokia Lumia 900 and the HTC Titan 2 are two superb phones that run for the excellent Windows os. Both of the models boast stylish looks nevertheless the Nokia does provide a slightly more unusual design as the model also produces superior image quality on its smaller display.. The Nokia Lumia 900 impresses with its camera specification and the results may also be fantastic. When we tested your camera we found out that the contrast and colour saturation levels were superb and we were also pleasantly surprised using the quality of images taken indoors, an area where many camera features often struggle. A dual LED flash is found on your camera and this is very useful when trying to take a photograph when lighting conditions are lower than perfect. We did find however how the photos taken with the flash lacked large that is found on images captured without feature. Once the images have been captured users using a Hotmail account can upload the crooks to the Skydrive service, a cloud storage system that offers 25GB of free storage for Hotmail members. This is really a great way of copying all photos taken about the device.. The Nokia Lumia 900 is one of the most eye catching devices available and therefore it easily outshines the Galaxy S3 for design. The model is comparable in looks for the other Lumia handsets that are available even though the materials utilized on this handset do feel more premium compared to its sibling models. Rather than adopt the curved chassis used by many modern phones the Lumia 900 sports a significantly more angular design. The main body is manufactured out of a top quality polycarbonate material as well as constructed from just one piece of this material which helps to result in the phone feel very robust. In terms of dimensions the phone measures 127.8 x 68.5 x 11.5mm and weighs 160 grammes. The Samsung Galaxy S3 boast some super specification but unfortunately the design with the model isn’t quite as impressive. We would have liked to see the model sport similar styling towards the very modern looking Galaxy S2 but Samsung have opted to utilize a more pebble like design that is comparable to numerous other handsets. In a bid to hold the weight in the handset down to a minimum the product uses a very lightweight cheap. Although this enables the product to weigh just 133 grammes the fabric does not feel totally robust inside your hand that is a shame from a flagship model. Considering that model sports a 4.7 inch display the physical size is very good. The model posseses an incredible depth of just 8.6mm rendering it one from the slimmest devices on the market. In terms of styling the Lumia 900 easily eclipses its rivals thanks to great construction and a modern design.. The cheap Nokia Lumia 900 is expected to be released in UK within the near future. Even though you can find innumerable mobile phones in the market, this phone comes with this much splendid specs regarding their operating system, storage, camera, and multimedia features. So, as opposed to going for conventional Smartphones inside the mobile market, choosing to buy the Nokia Lumia 900 is needless to say a worthy choice..

The Nokia Lumia 900 certainly boasts some spectacular messaging facilities. SMS, E mail and IM services are supported and the Windows OS does an admirable job of making all of those services available directly from your main home screen via the messaging tile.. A really interesting element in the Creative Studio application to the Nokia Lumia 900 is it allows users to capture excellent panoramic photographs. This means that rather than being restricted for the content available in a single shot the software program cleverly stitches together a series of photographs while using final result being a single image of your entire surroundings. To capture this type of shot the user simply takes just one shot to start with then moves the device around while being guided by instructions on the watch’s screen. When the process is fully gone Creative Studio takes the info from all of such snaps and fosters one single image. This is perfect in some scenarios for example capturing the view in a sporting event or even a local landmark. If you no n’t need to apply specific filters to your photograph but you want to make minor changes in make the look look a little better a car fix mode is likely to make small modifications that enhance the style without which makes it look very different in the original shot.. The Nokia Lumia 900 is really a powerful device that includes Qualcomm Snapdragon hardware. Just like greater mid range Lumia 800 the device boasts a 1.4Ghz single core processor that forms part in the impressive MSM8255T chipset. Despite being one particular core processor this chip delivers great performance speeds because of the excellent power efficiency that this Windows OS boasts. A powerful graphics processing unit can be included for this device. This Adreno 205 chip helps the product to easily handle the complex and visually attractive interface that this operating system uses. The HTC Titan 2 is incredibly evenly matched using the Nokia in this department. This phone also uses an incredibly fast single core chip but a better powerful one that’s clocked at 1.5Ghz. This chip forms part of the same Snapdragon setup that’s used by the Lumia 900 however the extra power is cancelled out with the larger screen dimensions offered by this device. Users will see it really tough to differentiate between these two handsets with this area with both delivering excellent operation speeds and good multi tasking features.. The Nokia Lumia 900 along with the HTC One X both deliver similar operation speeds even though the quad core technology present about the HTC will benefit the handset within the future. In terms of photography the models offer a similar standard of image quality but the HTC impresses us more with thanks to the sheer number of excellent additional features who’s incorporates..
